[quote=Anonymous]I called my good friend in another state yesterday to catch up.  She says her 20 yo son was dating a 40 yo for a few months. The gf apparently has no children or stable job and has been married before.  He has tried to break it off with the gf but she will say things like she will swallow a bottle of pills if he breaks up with her.  My friend is concerned the gf's objective may be to have a child with him.  This would be not ideal for many reasons.  On the one hand she could just stand back and let her son figure this out.  On the other hand, stakes are somewhat high if this happens - she and her husband likely would have to deal with the fall out if there is a baby involved.  She asked what would I do.  I think my kids are sufficiently suspicious of other peoples' motives that they would not engage.  Anyway my answer to her was maybe he can very kindly tell her that he needs to be on his own right now and that he will not be able to engage in communication for his own mental health reasons and that he hopes she understands. Is that the right approach in this type of situation?  TIA for your kind insights.  [/quote]
